SSH to your remote host and setup the bare repo: (this is assuming you have the right accounts and sshkeys setup)
ssh eric@gitshed.igazine.com

mkdir -p git/cherrytree.git
git init --bare git/cherrytree.git

Now return back to the host with the ChreeyTree .ctb files and sync these files to the remote repo.

eric@kalin-emcwilliams:~/Documents/CherryTree_Docs$ git remote add origin eric@gitshed.igazine.com:/home/eric/projects/git/cherrytree.git
eric@kalin-emcwilliams:~/Documents/CherryTree_Docs$ git branch -M main
eric@kalin-emcwilliams:~/Documents/CherryTree_Docs$ git push -u origin main

And this is my first edit after pulling the DB down to my laptop... Holy Hell it works!  I just need to remember to git push from my laptop to the remote server and sync on my workstation before editing again.   

I am saving these files as SQLite but I am now thinking I could do XML instead, the git merge possiblites are attractive but need to test.
